Maxim, standing in full uniform, stands at attention. Hands to his sides, feet together, the whole 9 yards. In a voice where fear or any second doubt doesn't exist, he states...

"Yes Ma'am. I am ready to serve Proxima proud. I am fully committed into kicking ass and taking names for this glorious land. I'm ready for whatever gets thrown at me, Ma'am."

He was truly committed to fighting for the land of Proxima. he had allows been patriotic to his planet and was willing to give his life to this beautiful Planet and its free people.

Ivan stood at attention after his colleague, he was equally enthusiastic and ready to get payed. As he stood he could almost see the excess luxury and it fueled his tone.

"I Ivan Vanrasque consent to the acquisition of this information and wish to serve my beloved planet!

Ivan stood waiting for the 3rd individual to consent so they could move on with thier orientation.

Just after Ivan finished his consent another agent walked through the door and escorted Maxim and Ivan to a separate facility across the base. The new Sector 4 building looked marvelous and shiny. You can almost smell a distinctly "new" smell when you walk the halls. They were led to a new room reminiscent of an identification room. However the glass separator though did not separate criminals, 3 young girls no older looking than 12 stood like soldiers facing the glass. Thier expressions were entirely blank and Thier bodies entirely... Shall we say..
Cold.

"Welcome to Sector 4 boys, pick an actis girl and we'll get you started with the bonding process".

One girl stood slightly taller than the rest by a couple inches, and was immediately picked my Ivan. Which left two Actis girls to choose from. One has short black hair with blue eyes, and one with short Auburn hair and brown eyes.

Maxim looked at the Actis girls, confused on what is going on. But, nevertheless, he looked at the girls and chose the girl with short black hair and blue eyes. He looked at her blank face a simply wondered...

What the hell is going on? Why the hell are these girls here? And why do they looks so...empty? I'm a little concerned now. Oh well,
I'll pick one and hope nothing bad comes to her. Funny, this one kinda reminds me of my little sister back when we were younger. I think I'll pick her.

After making thier choices the room the girls were in was darkened and Maxim/Ivan were moved to yet another room, however this time separated. A voice comes over an intercom In the wall in both thier rooms and tells maxim/ivan to sit down at the desk in the center of the room and look at the physical diagnostic of thier Actis girls. The closed dossiers sat in black envelopes, they seemed small for a physical diagnostic.

Once again the intercom system kicked on and somebody's disembodied voice cascaded into the room.

"An Actis girl is a genetically engineered 12 year old girl, made to be submissive and imprint on the first person they see like some animals. Thier bodies are given implants to make make them a force to be reckoned with. The implants, which consist of synthesized muscles and carbon fiber frames, result in heightened strength and reflexes as well as high resilience to damage and pain due to a lack of synthetic nerves. Each Actis girl will be paired with an adult male trainer or "handler" and together you will be referred to as a Blackout team. You as a handler are responsible for the training, welfare and field performance of your chosen Actis girl, and are free to use whatever methods you consider suitable. While your methods may vary, make sure to remember you must record your methods for the training of future agents".

Eckie stood tall, bracing himself for what may happen next. If there’s anything reassuring to him, it’s his thoughts and his trigger finger. He was ready, at all odds, to serve and protect the people of his homeland.

He stood tall as his fellow men did.

”Yes ma’am, I am ready for my assignment. Awaiting orders”

...

I stand confused. Almost in a trance. I didn’t expect to see what was in front of me. In the midst of all the thought, Maxim and Ivan both choose theirs. I got the brown hair girl. I think to myself:

What on Earth? 12? (He takes a breath) I guess it’s for the betterment of the people. I’m ready. I wonder if she has a name? Will she be able to handle .50 BMG rounds? (The room darkens)

...

I sit at the table provided, and listen to the speech that I’m given. I understand all of it, it’s just a lot to take in. I almost feel accomplished being chosen as an elite for a program like this. I think:

My own training? Alright, I think I know what I’ll do. It might give me a sense of accomplishment.

”Alright, I’ve got it. What else is there to be done?”

Ivan sat down at the table in the center of the room as soon as he entered. He was a little confused as to what these "actis girls" were for but nevertheless glad he'd been so quick on his pick. Ivan liked the taller one with the long blonde hair, she was adorable and even though her face had been blank he thought to himself that they'd get along swimmingly.

Then The intercom kicked on and he was slightly off put, did his new Sector just tell him he was to start training a little girl to be a Sector Agent? Ivan grabbed his dossier on the Actis girl and broke the seal, It smelled official.

When ivan finished reading the documents he Whistled a long low whistle. "Damn, you guys spare no expenses with these girls do you"? He spoke into the empty room. "All right... I read the file, what's next"?

Each agents intercom buzzed to life once more on the white walls of thier briefing rooms...

After you finish with your Dossier we'll begin the process of bonding you and your Actis girl together. Starting with introductions, then a few minutes of free time to get comfortable with your Actis girl, equipment optimization, and finally a test senario. Afterwords, if you and your chosen girl pass you'll be reassigned to Black-Ops and dismissed until you are given your first assignment. We recommend training your Actis girl at least once every other day, as well as attempt to create a mild relationship. These activities will lengthen the lifespan of your Actis girl and promote a more effective BlackOut team".

(Speak with me about your Actis girl dossier, I have stats for the girls that you add to the bottom of your sheets. Also they REQUIRE A FACECLAIM, I want everyone to be able to see the adorable so pick a cute face that matches my description of your girl. And remember only picture links that start with http or https work.)

Each agent is moved to thier Actis girl's greeting room. Upon entry they see their chosen girl sitting proper and attired in black DragonSkin Armor and a blindfold. DragonSkin, a very thin skin tight armor that prevents bullets from penetrating the skin. The rooms are empty besides the girls and the agents.

"Please remove your Actis Girl's blindfold and prepare for imprint".Yet another disembodied voice echos through a speaker in the corner of the room.

I wonder to myself what's going on.

Is this some weird dream? Will I awaken? I guess even if it is, it's best to follow orders.

I walk up to the girl, and slowly take off the blindfold, awaiting further instruction. I examine her fully to see if she's awake and ready.

"I'm ready to move on."

(Inform me of my sheet add-on.)

@detonatoragent

The Actis Girl's eyes open after the blindfold is removed and her blank expression is replaced with a look of extreme happiness once she locks eyes on your face.

The loudspeaker clicked on once more...

"Now that she's imprinted to you, you may make your Actis girl as you see fit. They will act and behave as instructed, as well as personalize anything you say about thier performance. They are the ultimate receptical for instructions and training, so we leave them blank to be molded for use by thier handler. Until you "shape" her personality, she will seem like a clean slate who simply wishes to please.

The Actis girl stares intently into Eckie's eyes, waiting for some form of agknoledgement from her Handler. She frankly looked like a new born pup eager to please master for a treat.

Ivan walks into the greeting room to find his Actis girl blindfold at the far side. He strolled to the back of the room and listened to the intercom. Nodding his head every couple of sentences, he took her blindfold off and smiled wide. She was the most adorable little thing he had ever seen.

"hello Victoria, my name is Ivan. Do you understand the name I've given you?"

The Actis girl nods and smiles an innocent smile.

"Good girl. I have an idea Victoria, why don't you be my little sarcastic Actis girl? That way you never feel like you have to be quiet or that I don't like hearing your voice. So does that sound good?

Victoria nodded again and tried her voice for the first time ever.
"Thank you Ivan". Victoria smiled again, took a step over to Ivan's side, and put her hand in his.

Ivan assigned her a set of weapons to practice with and was dismissed to his house to await his test senario.

Out of reaction, I smile back at her. She's adorable!

"So, you haven't a name? Alright, well... How about Ela? Short and simple. So, Ela, you have a free mind. If it's for the betterment of those close to you, you can do it. You are always welcome to state your opinion and view on a situation. I will be more of a mentor and instructor than a straight up master. Sound good?"

I keep smiling, and await her first reaction.

"Oh, and one more thing. I want you to practice often with the skills i'll pass to you. We can discuss it more in training."

I plan to assign her weapons of mine for practice. I have spares.

...

@DetonatorAgent

Ela takes a step to Eckie's side and puts her hand in his

You are dismissed! The intercom yelled at Eckie in an authority voice.

Eckie was now free to commence any training or whatever he wanted until he was called for his Field Senario.

"I am uncomfortable in my DragonSkin Commander, may we please find me a civilian attire"? Ela looked up at Eckie with big innocent golden brown eyes as she asked.

(From this point forward you control your girl, what she does and says is all up to you so have fun!)

As Maxim enters the room, he realizes that he never got the name of the "Actis Girl". So, he though for a while about the name.

...Hmmmm...well, if they didn't give me a name, I guess I'll have to name her. How about...Sunaipā? Yeah. I like it. But, I'll shorten it to Sun, less of a mouthful...

Finally, He sits down and reads the Dossier, just as instructed. Once he finished and looked at Sunaipā.

...So, for the sound of it, I'm a babysitter for a really powerful girl that is half my age. Great... Well, let's hope she doesn't cause too much trouble...who knows, maybe I'll enjoy this. And NOT in that way..." He thought. But, kept it to himself.

He removed the blindfold, showing her adorable face with her glossy blue eyes. However, sadly, her eyes looked empty, which kinda worried Maxim. Nevertheless, he decided to introduce himself.

"Hello Sunaipā....you are OK with Sun? My name is Maxim. I'll be your handler. I want you to know that I will not be very strict to you, but, please take into consideration anything that I say. I will be training you with the skills I know. Also, I want you to have a free mind. If you have something to say, don't be afraid to say it. As your handler, I want to make sure that you have a voice in discussions and not being left out, like a robot. Are you OK with this Sun?"


He eagerly, yet worryingly, waited for a response.

"Yes Sir, you can call me Sun. In fact, I rather like this name. It kinda reminds me of the Sun but is said in the way of an old tongue (Japanese). And my full name Sunaipā...doesn't that translate to Sniper?

He couldn't believe how beautiful her voice sounded. He thought that she would sound like a lifeless robot but rather, she sounds like an angel.

"Why yes Sun, that is correct. I chose it as a name because I thought it sounded nice and was fitting for what we will be doing. We will be the snipers for our team when time calls for it."

"Snipers...?" Sun asked. "Aren't those the people who sit back far away from the fighting and shoot from a distance?"

"Yes Sun, that's right. We sit back from the battle, sometimes, and watch out for out friends who are fighting in the battle. But, the rifles we fire have a lot of recoil. So, I made sure that your rifle doesn't kick hard. That way, you can shot it without it hurting you."

"OK. I like that. The recoil of the rifle isn't a problem but, there is one thing I have a problem with. I have a hard time being close to the battle. Even though I shouldn't, it scares me a little. Like, I can fight and do what you ask me to but, when we're done fighting, I start to feel scared. I have a hard time looking at the bodies and the large amounts of blood."

Maxim was intrigued, seeing how he though the system would wipe her of emotions but, he guessed wrong.

"It's OK. That's fine. Personally, I prefer sniping too. It's much quieter and less dangerous. So,
shall we go get your gear and train?"

Sun quietly nodded. Maxim outreached his hand and in return, Sun put her hand in his and flinched back realizing it wan't real. It was cold and metal. But, she put her hand back into his as he escorted her to her gear and the range for practice.

"Yeah, we'll go into town and get you some things to wear. In the meantime, wear this."

I hand her my cloak. She puts it on without issue, and wraps her whole body in it. I feel attached to her, like she's another chance to finish what I coudln't before...

...

We go into town and I purchase her all the clothes she likes. I've got her both casual attire and tactical gear. She takes after me in wearing the pants and boots all the time, smiling after she told me she wanted to work as I did. She's so sweet... I could take her as my sister for real any day.

...

"Alright, that's that! So, Ela, time to train up on what you're going to need to know for real combat. I'm going to teach you my skills and knowledge. I'm called 'he Reaper' by many. Perhaps one day you'll make a name for yourself too. Are you ready?"

We were at the practice holo-ranges at Black Ops headquarters. She picked up fast on everything, hopefully this too.

"I'm ready as I'll ever be!"

"Wonderful. I have several situations for you to run through. Here are your weapons. I just want you to use them in the way you best see fit. Ready?" I hand her her equipment and get her ready.

"Ready, begin simulation!"

I initiate the simulation, and we practice her stealth and assassinations with it for hours.

...

SECTOR 4 TRAINING FACILITY.

After ivan was dismissed he decided he should take Victoria to the training facility to through some senarios of his own. He didn't wanna be caught off guard with a senario she didn't know how to handle. When ivan arrived at the training facility with Victoria she seemed to get very excited.

As he set up the simulation the girl was practically bouncing off the wall, he simply had to ask. "Why are you so excited Victoria"? To which she replied she was excited to show Ivan how good she was at playing soldier.

Ivan ran through a brief description of the simulation and gave Victoria her newly acquired M870. Which with she gave an enthusiastic fist pump while saying "ready to serve Commander Ivan"! Ivan patted Victorias cheek and sent her into the simulation chamber. She skipped into it like a girl going to school.

Ivan had built a barricaded house within the simulation and a team of 4 radicals. Each door and window were barricaded with metal sheets. However Victoria didn't care, she ran at the front door and kicked it in like it was made of cardboard. She proceeded into the house and started to sweep and clear. The first two radicals were together heading to the front door when they caught Victoria off guard. She dove into the kitchen when they opened fire, and they got nothing but house with thier hail of bullets. She was already out of the room by the time the first shot was fired and at there necks by the time they stopped. Victoria blew both thier backs out with her shotgun and made her way up the stairs. A long hallway ended at a master bedroom door that had a radical sitting in it guarding there paycheck. He Sprayed his auto down the hall to suppress Victoria and closed the gap between them. When he turned the corner she hit him in the face and shot him in the neck as she lept onto his chest.

The last radical sat in the master bedroom holding out in a corner, waiting for Victoria to enter. However she didn't enter the room, she just threw a grenade one of them had I to it and let the shrapnel tear him up. Afterwords Ivan came inside and started the clean-up, BlackOut work sometimes feels like being a really good maid. All the bullets and casings and bodies were done away with and the area returned to a natural suburban house.

Ivan stood there in front of Victoria, completely in awe at what she'd just done. She had breach and cleared the house, in a fraction of the time we would've spent. "Exceptional Victoria, truly exceptional!" Ivan praised her with a smile and ushered her off base and into town. Ivan was going to let her pick out some really nice clothes.

Eckie receives a Mission Dossier on his PDA, it's marked FIELD TEST

@DetonatorAgent

(KEY: "^ is over comms speech.)

"^Hey, Ela! Retreat from the simulation as your last test! We have a field test finally awaiting us!^"
"^(whispering)Affirmative. HVT objective abandoned. Retreating.^"

Ela makes her way out nearly spotless, killing a few more. She has yet to fail to impress me. I sit down with her, open the dossier on her end, and we read through it. A game plan is made ahead of time to locate the power, disable it if possible, and a message to HQ sent with the following request:

WEAPONS LEASE REQUEST - Eckie Asaka, Ela N/A
PRIMARYS: N/A
SECONDARIES: N/A
EQUIPMENT: EMP Grenade x3
ATTIRE: N/A

We make our way to my ship.

"Hudson, enable autopilot and send us to Proxima Black Ops Headuarters."
"Yes, sir. Strap in, both of you. It'll be a rough ride."
"What, are you gonna make a rollercoaster?"
"I love thrill rides! C'mon, just a little bit of stunting?"
"Look, you're awesome, but I don't have the gut that can handle stunting with gravity. Maybe some other day."
"Awww..."
"You two certainly are strange. Off we go!"
"Hey!"

We spoke in sync. I laughed as well as she as we took off for an official start to the mission.
